Which of the following is not correct about the great circle…

  1. The Great Circle divides the earth into two equal spheres
  2. The centre of the Great Circle is also the centre of the earth
  3. The Equator is a Great Circle among the latitudes
  4. The Greenwich Meridian and the International Date Line are the only lines of latitude forming a Great Circle ✓
Explanation

The Greenwich Meridian and the International Date Line are lines of longitude, not latitude. Together they form a great circle round the earth, so the statement is wrong.

Among latitudes only the Equator is a great circle. The other statements are correct.
